If you followed README instructions, including step 7 of "encrypting root
partition", then there should be a loop.ko module in
/boot/modules-KERNELRELEASE/ where KERNELRELEASE equals output of "uname -r"
command.
                                                         
To copy that module using knoppix or other bootable/working installation,
you can do this:

  su
  mkdir /mnt2
  mkdir /mnt3
  mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt2
  mount -t ext2 /dev/hda3 /mnt3 -o loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=AES128,gpgkey=/mnt2/rootkey.gpg
  mkdir /mnt2/modules-2.6.15
                      ^^^^^^
  cp -p /mnt3/lib/modules/2.6.15/block/loop.ko /mnt2/modules-2.6.15/
                          ^^^^^^                             ^^^^^^
  umount /mnt2
  umount /mnt3

And then reboot.
